Chocolate
Cacao beans were used to make chocolates, which were usually eaten as sweets or as flavoring ingredients in sweet foods. Chocolate was one of our favorite foods, so we were overjoyed when it was added to the list of heart-healthy foods. Chocolates have the potential to reduce blood pressure, avoid hypertension, and increase blood vessel flexibility.
Sardines
Sardines were small edible fish that were often packaged in large quantities in flat metal containers. Sardines may be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids for our diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are a good form of fat since they can lower triglyceride levels while increasing HDL levels.
